Wolf Alice to co-headline UK festival

The north London quartet will close the final day of the two-day Margate jaunt

Wolf Alice have been announced as the first Saturday headliner for Margate’s By The Sea festival.

The ‘My Love Is Cool’ band join the already-announced Super Furry Animals and Wild Beasts, who will co-headline the first day of the festival, at the top of the bill. Wolf Alice’s companion headliner will be announced on July 1.

Taking place over two days (September 30 – October 1) at the Dreamland amusement park in the Kent seaside town, Wolf Alice’s appearance at By The Sea will be their first ever headline set at a festival.
